Description
Realist painter Edward Hopper is best known for his simple scenes capturing the reality of everyday American life. In “Chop Suey,” a simple scene of two women in a restaurant has a beautiful, engaging quality thanks to Hopper’s expert attention to detail and masterful use of light. The way the sunshine beams in through the restaurant windows helps to highlight the two central figures of the painting in an almost heavenly way. This piece is especially notable for its abstract geometric shapes throughout the painting that add to its modern sensibility. Though it’s clearly meant to capture a real moment in a restaurant, there’s also a sense of this painting being a recreation of a memory in Hopper’s mind, complete with some incomplete details of the surroundings. In 2018, the orginal painting sold for an astonishing 92 million USD. An Edward Hopper “Chop Suey” print simply doesn’t show the gorgeous detailing of this piece the way a reproduction from overstockArt does.
